    recipes in custom folders are also appearing in default folder

    Recipes (not snapshots) that I moved to folders are also appearing in the default folder. If I delete one from the default folder, it is deleted in both places. The issue affects newly created recipes as ones that have been around for a while. Thanks for investigating, PZ

    Issues with new version

    In mash chemistry page, sparge/kettle addition textboxes are disabled. (Reported this on another thread, but this looks like the right place.) Mash schedule in brew session not making it in from recipe to the mash tab, even with rebuilding session. Seems to happen when editing snapshot, as...

    Malt Statistics

    Hello all, I realize it is impossible to list every grain with the correct ppg and diastatic power (dp), but I was wondering if you could list the brand somewhere so we know if what we are using might be significantly different. In two recent instances, using German munich light and German...

    Diastatic Power calculating

    Since I rarely make a beer where diastatic power is an issue, I never gave the little number in the recipe calculator any thought. Is it supposed to be an average of the mashed grains? I wouldn't think that a quarter pound of 2 row and 8 pounds of grits would convert too well, but the calculated...

    Pre-boil gravity (PBG) calculation

    Hello BF, This topic has been raised a few times, so I thought I would present the problem in a simple way. The PBG represents the total amount of sugar at the start of the boil. When boiled, the wort has the same amount of sugar, but in a smaller volume. That volume should be the ending kettle...

    Heat belt or heater in fermentation chamber?

    My brewing seems to be lagging the seasons this year and I still want to make a couple more saisons. I typically pitch in the 60s and raise the temperature until it reaches ambient, which in the summer is between 86 and 92 in my NYC top floor apartment. Do any of you use heat belts or reptile...

    Conversion of CaCl2 from grams to teaspoons

    Not sure what is going on here, but it looks as if the conversion from grams to teaspoons is inconsistent between the form in the brew session and that of the mash calculator. Gypsum is OK. I haven't tried weighing to see if one is closer, and with the potential for water absorption I'm not...

    mash calculator

    The mash calculator embedded in the brew log is fantastic. One minor request: make the logged items editable, in particular, the comments. Currently, once you submit the step it's locked down. I would also like to see the stand-alone mash calculator incorporate the default user profile...

    Yeasty beer in keg

    This is the situation: 1. Irish Red made with Wyeast 1084 and mainstream ingredients. Kegged one month ago. The only thing I did differently was leaving it in the keg at room temperature for a few days immediately after kegging. 2. Beer going into keg was crystal clear, even when chilled. 3...

    brewprint.com and brewersfriend merger

    Did anyone else see the announcement on the now-defunct blog page? So now we have access to more recipes and have the opportinity to buy them? I would assume the ones submitted by members would still be free, but still. I find it's already a bit of a landfill. More recipes? And apparently Josh...

    Conditioning ales in kegs

    Hello All, I'm finding that nearly all my brews are significantly better by the time I get to the bottom of the keg than they were at the start. I would like to allow more time prior to serving -- say 2-4 weeks -- but have limited space in my kegerator. Does anyone have experience conditioning...

    site slow and off-line

    The site has been slow and off-line for at least a couple days now. In the past it has been just an inconvenience, but this time it is interfering with my ability to brew. At the brew store yesterday I couldn't even call up my grain bill. Even the store's hard-wired PC couldn't connect at all...

    Over-attenuation

    Hello All, My beers lately have been over-attenuating, some a little, others a lot. My recipes are all based on JZ's Classic Styles. My setup is normal -- all-grain, batch sparge in a 10-gallon cooler, nothing fancy. My concern is that I'm either doing something way wrong or have an infection...
